Ohlman accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports.

The Blue Jays designated Ohlman for assignment over the weekend, and after passing through waivers, he'll return to the organization at the Triple-A level. Now that Ohlman is off the 40-man roster, he's unlikely to be called back up anytime soon unless Russell Martin or Luke Maile land on the disabled list.

Narvaez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Despite going 2-for-3 Monday night, the White Sox will continue to employ their timeshare behind the dish. Narvaez will cede Tuesday's start to Kevan Smith.

Sanchez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Royals, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Sanchez was hit in the mask by a foul ball over the weekend, so this night off seems like a way to keep him fresh after that incident as well as two straight hitless showings. Austin Romine will fill in for him behind the dish.

Vazquez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

Despite picking up four hits in the past two games, Vazquez will head to the bench for a night off. Sandy Leon will pick up a start behind the dish in his place.

McCann is not in the lineup Monday against the Astros, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Despite collecting hits in the past two games, McCann will head to the bench as the Tigers continue to ride the hot-hitting Alex Avila, who will draw the start behind the dish and bat second.

Gosewisch was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Gosewisch was just 2-for-28 (.071) across 11 games with the big club before being sent back to Tacoma. The veteran backstop was replaced by fellow catcher Mike Zunino on the roster. He'll continue to serve as organizational catching depth for the Mariners.

Gomes went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer, five RBI and two runs Sunday in Houston.

The catcher's five RBI tied a career high and pushed his season total to 11. Gomes' .815 OPS through 30 games is his highest mark since 2013. He's demonstrating better plate discipline than ever before. Gomes' 9.6 percent walk rate and 17.3 percent strikeout rate are both the best marks in his five-plus major-league campaigns.

Mejia (groin) was activated from the minor-league DL at Double-A Akron on Friday.

The Tribe's top prospect wasted no time making his presence felt upon returning to the RubberDucks lineup. Over the weekend, the 21-year-old went 3-for-6 with a double, two homers and three RBI. Mejia is slashing .307/.344/.534 through his first 23 games in the Eastern League.

Vazquez went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Athletics.

Despite hitting .329 on the season, Vazquez has slumped in May and continues to lose valuable playing time to hot-hitting Sandy Leon. A career-high .400 BABIP for Vazquez also points to likely regression. He's strictly a fantasy asset in two-catcher or deep AL-only leagues while hitting in a strong Boston lineup.

Narvaez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The White Sox continue to implement a timeshare behind the plate with Narvaez and Kevan Smith with Geovany Soto on the 60-day disabled list. Narvaez will head to the bench Sunday with Smith drawing the start.
